Title: Phoenix destiny
Name: Natalia Elina
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

Hello to all
This illustration was made in Photoshop, my own little challenge after work. I think it is the best way to spend free time... Plus I has spend way to much time in Flash lately, wanted to do something different.
The idea for picture is that Phoenix its a selfdistractive bird that will die and will be born again from his ash.
There are some stories of Phoenix heart too, so it was kinda the idea for this piece.
Hope you like it, and please feel free to give any comments
Thanks

I really like this! The colors are great, the style of the character is nice, and the firelight on the bottom of her hair adds a nice pop. I'd say the phoenix looks a little on the flat side, but to create a being that is made of fire, breathing fire, and giving off the main source of light in the picture, is a feat I've never attempted, so I really don't know how I'd improve it. In any event, this is a fantastic painting that easily warrants 4 stars!

First of really nice concept:) And I love your use of colors and I like that you left the brush strokes visible, It makes it "well at least in my mind" more painterly. And for me that a good thing.

This is a very interesting piece. It's everyting but forgetable, likely due to the girls expression. Great work.
